In old times the King who was powerful will occupy the neighboring states through the use of force and weak states always remains in danger and required allot of struggle in order to safeguard and protect themselves. It was common thing at that time when the one state attacks the other one and occupies it. But with the passage of time, the humans get mature and in 20 century the institute like the UN had been made so that the dispute among the states should be resolved through dialogue.
In the world the last time at the large scale the demarcation of the boundaries of the state take place after the world war II and today the shape of the world map with certain changes is the same which is made after the world war II.I t is clear that after the 1945 the incident of full fledge war between the two countries had reduced to the great extent and only few such incidents are been reported. After 1945 only four such incidents been reported when one country had tried to fully occupy the other country and tries to get it include in itself:
- The first one is took place in 1950s when the North Korea had attacked the South Korea and the allies of both countries get included in the war.
This attack was unsuccessful because the North and South even today are independent countries
- The second event had taken place in 1975 in Indonesia when the Indonesia had immediately attack the East Timor who gets independence from the Portugal recently.
This was remained as unsuccessful because in 2002 East Timor had get independence from the Indonesia and become the independent country.
- The third event took place when in 1990 Iraq had occupied Kuwait but does kept this occupation and Iraq had ultimately called back its troops from Kuwait.
- The last one is the attack of the North Vietnam on the South Vietnam and then its occupation and which remains even today, but the secret behind this success is that till 1954 Vietnam is only the one country. In 1954 it was divided in North and the South Vietnam and colonial powers in 1954 the country called as French-Indo China had been divided in three part according to the agreement:
- Laos
- Cambodia
- Vietnam
The Vietnam was further divided into North and the South Vietnam. We can say that it is the only example after the 1945 when one country had occupies the other and even remains today. North and the South Vietnam together had become a one country that is named as Socialist republic of Vietnam.
Talking about the small scale war in this regard after the 1945 time period was reduced to the large extent. The reduction in the number of the small scale war is due to three big reasons:
- There is the opposition to the public opinion according to a survey 47% Americans and 37 % Australians had the opinion that if one country attacked the other country with the intentions to occupy it. So the neutral countries should use their allied forces and should drive back the invader country out of the territory of occupied country and according to this survey 75 % had the opinion that the country that invades should face the severe economic sanctions.
- The human is getting civilized and also the implementation of the civilized laws and the rule and the regulation especially against the torture and the wars. Today the UNO had strict rule and the regulation and it is very difficult for the country to occupy the territory of the other country. In 2014 the Russia had occupied the Crimea areas which remain as such as todays but as the result of it the Russia had faced the severe economic sanctions.
- Difficulty in keeping the occupation of the occupied areas. Before 1945 if one country occupied the territory of the other country so in the 80 % scenarios the geographical territory get changed means 80 out of 100 are such incidents in which the invader country kept the territory of host country. But after the 1945 this ratio get changed less than 80% and left only 30% ratio means that if one country attack the other country so in order to keep that occupation had very less chances of doing so.
Eg Attack of the Iraq on Kuwait and the withdrawal of the troops is the biggest example of it.
Now the nature of the war is get changed now the invaders countries had adopted the two types of the strategies in order to attack and occupy the territory of the other country:
- The claim on the particular territory by many countries or the dispute over the ownership of an area or territory. This is the biggest reasons of the todays wars :
- Israel’s occupation of the Arab lands
- India and the Pakistan fight over the Kashmir territory and wars
- Europe’s Baltics state fights
- And the India- China issue of the Ladakh territory
Second method in this latest period of the time is the one country instead of the other country , take off the troops on the city having the large population having unhabituated area or like the cities having very low population density and on the small cities and areas. The advantage of occupying the small areas is that there is not much noise in the world as compared to the occupying of the big territory or the areas. In such a situation the allies of the oppressed country and friendly country involvement in the war is getting reduced to large extent. According to the research data after the 1945 to till date 63 such types of the incidents had been reported in which one country had occupied the small territory of the other and only in 5 cases out of 63 in which the ally or the friend of the oppressed one had ordered to fire on the invader . The examples of these are the:
- In 1967 against the Israel in the defense of the Palestine the Egypt, Syria and the Jordan had send their troops.
- In 1974 the fight of the turkey and the Greece are its example.
Attacking on the whole country as compared to the attack on the small area the ally and the friend of the oppressed state came into action. In Iraq and Kuwait war the sending back of the Iraqi troops from the Kuwait and North Korea attack on the South Korea are one of the Prime example of it. WW-I began when the Germany had attacked the Belgium and UK had to get involved in it and WW-II had started when the Germany had attacked the Poland and war started. So the Allied countries France and the UK had got jumped in the war. The chances of keeping the occupying the small territory and retaining that territory had the 50% chances. In recent times the attacker country had the strategy that to occupy the small country and try fully that to not to escalate the war beyond this and keep this occupation through political and diplomatic means. According to the 1918 -2018 data:
- If a country attacked a city or the area of the enemy with the population more than 100,000, then in 78% of incidents like these the country retaliated.
- And if the attack is on the less populated areas tan the chances of the war were 36%.
- And in case of the unpopulated area the chances of the war are 9%
Due to this from the last century the nature of the warfare is changed and now the unpopulated cities are being targeted more but it is risky to say so as because in 1982 the Argentina had attacked Falkland Island which had triggered a full fledge war and Pakistan- India Kargil war
